One of my favorite things about glove collecting are the neat tags that many manufacturers attached. We've all seen the Rawlings, Spaldings, etc. of the vintage world but what are your rarest/most interesting ones. Here are some of mine:

Andrus & Nadele Sporting Goods, Hartford, CT - have not come across another one of these. The glove isn't in the greatest shape but I love it because there are not too many vintage gloves with CT tags.

Bean Bros., Freeport, ME - This is the original LL Bean company and one of my favorite gloves. There is a glove at the store in Freeport that has a little different tag than this one

J.A. Dubow, Chicago, IL - common glove maker but I've not seen another tag like this one. I love the color and script writing. Again, not a great glove, but the tag makes it a keeper for me.

Strawbridge Clothiers Sporting Goods - haven't figured out where this store was located yet. Looks good on the glove.

Jack Shannon Co. Sporting Goods, Chicago, IL - This is one of my favorite tags. My wife did some summer work right near the address on this tag on summer during her college years. I also like the images on it.

Horace Partridge, Boston, MA - probably the earliest tag, although I like the later one with the bird better. I like this one because of the clear, block printing.

Brett, I couldn't resist. I got this glove years ago but it's one of my prizes.
Who would have thought Phillips Sporting Goods would have a glove with their patch on it. Don't know where the SG store was. This is a 60s Japan import, heavy pebble leather, not bad. Not indication of a town or city.

No pic immediately available (what the HECK did I do with that camera?!), but I have my late uncle's 1950's Hurricane Trophy Model fielder's glove. An interesting tag on it: white with an embroidered red palm tree blowing in the gale, "Hurricane" in an action-type font, and "Trophy Model" also in red. When I find that camera, pics are on the way!

I just picked up a Warren Spahn endorsed Vulcan Athletic Goods glove because I uses to live in Birmingham. Drove through that neighborhood many times on my way to see the Birmingham Barons at Rickwood field. My glove is rough, but the markings are clear. "Vulcan-Bilt", "100". Great label that runs perpendicular to the strap, not parallel like Brett's. The fingers have the double, parallel lacing that look factory designed. The statue on the patch represents Vulcan, the Roman god of the forge, a symbol of the importance that steel meant to the City and surrronding area. The statue was atop Red Mountain, named for the iron of which it was made. For many years Vulcan's torch was red when there had been a traffic fatality, green to other times. Enough history. Thanks, in advance for any thoughs on the glove. I'll post pictures if she cleans up nicely.
